Biography
Biography Timeline
His first script was named The Runner was given to the William Morris Agency by his high school friend Dustin Lee Abraham (who worked as a runner for the Jewish mob while in high school) and returned with the message “No on writer, no on movie.” Zuiker was demoralized stating “I was like, wow that’s a bummer.” After initially failing with the William Morris Agency, they sold the script to a Showtime director for a mere $25,000 before the Creative Artists Agency had reviewed it. CAA had found a lucrative buyer but the director refused to sell and instead produced what Abraham felt was a lackluster movie, The Runner, in 1999 (although it starred John Goodman, Courteney Cox, and Ron Eldard).
In 1999, he married his first wife, Jennifer Zuiker, with whom he has three sons. The couple later divorced. In 2013, he married schoolteacher Michelle Territo.
On October 25, 2007, he received the Big Brother Award Austria 2007 in the category of communication and marketing. The jury stated among other things, “The CSI television series present computer surveillance, DNA-analysis and the overthrow of civil rights in an uncritical, trivialized and dangerously onesided kind of way”. Furthermore, the rights of people in general and the suspects in particular would be pictured primarily as impediments of investigations.
This early effort led him to pursue scriptwriting as a profession. In a talk at the International Mystery Writers Festival in June 2008, Zuiker said that he was working as a tram driver in Las Vegas when he came up with the idea for the series. He said he was about to go out to play basketball with some friends when his first wife asked him to stay in and watch The New Detectives on the Discovery Channel. “I decided to stay, and that changed everything”. He also freely admitted that he knew nothing about writing for TV and therefore his pilot script “broke all the rules,” thereby creating the programs’ characteristic visual and storytelling styles. His concept was picked up by David Seltzer at Addis/Wechsler who showed it to his manager Margaret Riley and they proceeded to market it to the various agencies. Creative Artists agent Scott Greenberg liked the script and brought him to the attention of Jonathan Littman, president of Jerry Bruckheimer Television, and Zuiker was signed to produce for television. Nina Tassler, then head of drama at CBS successfully pitched the script to her superiors and a contract was signed.
On September 8, 2009, Zuiker released Level 26: Dark Origins, a book with associated web-based motion picture and interactive elements which he terms a “digi-novel”. Zuiker has produced 20 cinematic cyber-bridges, which readers will be prompted to view online using special codes embedded in the book’s text every 20 pages or so. The Level26.com website and online community was created with the help of Miles Beckett, the creator of hit faux vlogger lonelygirl15. “I wanted to tell a story ‘too hot’ for television while at the same time giving the existing crime reader a different experience, ” says Zuiker.
On October 14, 2010, Level 26: Dark Prophecy was released and a third Level 26 book was released in 2011; it was also released as an iPad application, which was designed and developed by Hooray.
